Chapter 96 – Qi Practicing Seventh Level, Leaving the Demon Wood Forest (Second Shift)
“Buzz!”

As the aura flashed, Chen Fan’s mind was induced as if he saw the flow and changes of the five elements of power.

At the same time, it was as if he saw gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five basic attribute powers that formed the cornerstone of this world.

Seeing that they transformed and restrained each other, yet maintained a delicate balance.

“Boom!”

In the next instant, a channel of heaven and earth spiritual qi, transformed into a whirlpool, madly surged into his body, and under the operation of the Five Spirit Elemental Air Scripture, it was refined into his own mana.

And in the midst of this change, the many mysteries contained within the heaven and earth spiritual qi also merged into his heart little by little, allowing him to have more enlightenment.

During this process, his entire aura, too, began to rise higher and higher.

“Seventh level of Qi Practicing!”

Until after a long time, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of surprise came through his eyes.

At this time, two months had passed since he had broken through to the peak of the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

He had originally thought that he might still need some time before he was able to break through.

Yet, he did not expect that in just two months, he had broken the bottleneck.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, the first to third level of Qi cultivation belonged to the early stage of Qi cultivation.

The fourth to sixth level was the middle stage of Qi cultivation.

The seventh to ninth level was the late stage of Qi cultivation.

As for the last level, the tenth level of Qi cultivation, it was what Immortal Cultivators often referred to as the Great Perfection of Qi cultivation.

In this case, at this time, once he made a breakthrough, it was equivalent to advancing from the middle stage of Qi cultivation, to the late stage of Qi cultivation.

Therefore the increase in one’s strength was much more than every previous breakthrough in every minor realm.

“With the realm breakthrough, the next step is to see the quality of my Spiritual Root, when it will be able to reach the upper grade.”

Chen Fan exhaled a long breath.

The seventh level of Qi Practicing was a goal for him.

However, what he wanted more was to obtain a top-grade spirit root quickly.

Only by obtaining a top-grade spiritual root would his path to the Foundation Establishment Stage be smooth and unobstructed.

“I make a wish that I will be able to maximize my spiritual root qualifications permanently.”

With that in mind, Chen Fan made his wish for today.

It was just a pity.

He didn’t get to experience what a double happiness was like.

“Then wait a little longer!”

Chen Fan exhaled a cloudy breath.

By his estimation, after such a long time had passed, he should not be far away from promoting his Spiritual Root to the upper grade.

“As for now …… it’s time to break out of the Demon Wood Forest!”

“There are still three days to go before the end of the month trial, since that’s the case, let’s pick this one.”

Chen Fan’s gaze flickered.

He had stayed in the Mundane World, along with the Blood Abyss Secret Realm, for a total of more than three years.

Using these three years, he had raised both his internal and external martial arts to the Innate Perfection Realm.

Now that he had come to the Immortal Cultivation World for five years, he had advanced to the seventh level of Qi Practicing.

“Eight years, thirty-nine years old.”

Chen Fan sighed with infinite emotions.

Qi Practicing Stage Immortal Cultivator’s lifespan was one hundred and twenty years, and at this time, he was even just getting out of the tail end of a teenager and had just stepped into youth.

……

Three days later.

Demon Wood Forest End of Month Trial.

While Lv Ziying, Meng Shan and the others were gathered together, preparing for the trial, Chen Fan walked alone to a spot.

Because of the opening of the Foundation Building Mound Domain, at this time, in the Demon Wood Forest, apart from him who had just been promoted, there was no longer a single Qi Practicing Seventh Level disciple.

“Chen Fan, what are you doing?”

Meng Shan looked at him in surprise.

“Participating in the end of the month trial ah.”

Chen Fan spoke, “Also I intend to try and see if I can break out of the Demon Wood Forest today.”

“Break out of the Demon Wood Forest?”

“You broke through to the seventh level of Qi Practicing?”

Meng Shan and Lu Ziying spoke almost simultaneously.

“I occasionally had an epiphany and broke through.”

Chen Fan smiled.

The crowd sighed for a while.

All geniuses, whenever they broke through, most of them had this explanation.

“I wonder how long it will take for me to break through to the seventh level of Qi Practicing.”

Lu Ziying took a deep breath.

In these two years, the sect had increased the resources invested in its disciples, and with the supply of more resources, with her qualifications, she would almost break through to the seventh level of Qi cultivation in these recent months.

……

Rumble!
Right at this moment, in the Demon Wood Forest, a burst of mist rolled over and enveloped over, quickly enveloping everyone in the field, inside.

“It’s coming!”

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed.

A disciple at the seventh level of Qi Practicing participating in the Demon Wood Forest’s end of the month trial would be different from the other disciples.

This was because the aim of all disciples who had reached the seventh level of Qi Practicing was to break out of the Demon Wood Forest.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Chen Fan was waiting, a trailing vine, quietly wandered in and wrapped itself around his body, dragging him quickly towards a spot.

Chen Fan did not resist.

He had long understood about the Trespassing Trial.

Knowing that if he wanted to break through the Demon Wood Forest, he had to follow this trailing vine and travel to one place in order to do so.

In addition.

It was that he couldn’t resist, even if he did.

This trailing vine that was entangling him, the surface was branded with odd patterns, not an ordinary trailing vine, perhaps an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivator, might not be able to cut it off.

“Whoosh!”

Then, just after Chen Fan quickly traveled through the mist for a while along with this trailing vine, he suddenly felt a looseness around his waist.

His body, then, plummeted downward in a free fall.

“Royal Wind Technique!” Chen Fan performed the Wind Saving Technique, holding himself up, and slowly landed on the ground.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh ……”

And just as soon as he landed on the ground, in the mist, a trailing vine swiftly wandered in like a python.

They twisted together and formed a dense barrier, as if they wanted to trap and kill him inside.

“Brush!”

Chen Fan performed the Wind Sentry Technique, and his entire body seemed to merge with the wind, and whenever the vines attacked, he was able to quickly dodge away from them.

“Royal Sword Art!”

Then, with a thought of his mind, the Green Wood Sword transformed into a stream of green-colored light, drawing a subtle trajectory in the air.

Accompanied by the weaving sound of the flying sword, a vine was sharply chopped off by the Greenwood Sword, only to hear the sound of “snorting” continuously resounding.

After these vines were cut off, the breaks were as smooth as a mirror.

But as soon as they landed on the ground, these vines turned into a gust of green smoke and dissipated.

Chen Fan knew that these vines were all formed by the formation and were different from the one that had entangled him before.

As long as his attack power reached a certain level, he could easily cut it off.

It was just that the number of vines here was just too many, as if they were endless.

With a single Greenwood Sword alone, Chen Fan only lasted for a short while before he felt that it was difficult to sustain.

“Gravity Technique!”

Suddenly, just as a large area of vines came surging in, Chen Fan cast the Gravity Technique with a thought.

The gravity around him suddenly increased.

Those trailing vines that were trying to come closer to him suddenly sank in their vines and their actions became sluggish.

Seeing this, Chen Fan immediately maneuvered his Green Wood Sword into pieces of sword shadows, cutting off these vines one by one.

However, as time passed, the number of vines that attacked him increased, and even the toughness and speed of some of the vines increased.

“Frost Mist Dragon Art!”

Chen Fan lightly chanted.

The temperature around him plummeted, and an icy chill filled the air.

A fog dragon condensed from ice crystals appeared out of thin air.

It snaked and circled, letting out a roar as it charged openly at the surrounding vines.

In an instant, the icy fog quickly spread out, enveloping one of the trailing vines in it.

With that, layers of ice crystals began to form on the surface of these vines.

The movements of the trailing vines became increasingly sluggish, as if they were frozen by the cold ice.

“Meteor Fire Rain!”

Seeing this, Chen Fan’s mind moved again, and a blazing fire light suddenly appeared above his head, falling down like a meteor.

The fire light exploded in the mist, forming a sea of fire.

The vines quickly burned up in the sea of fire and quickly turned into ashes.

Time began to pass.

A spell was used from Chen Fan’s hands in an endless stream.

So much so that hardly any of the vines, came close to him.

“That should be about right.”

After waiting for a while longer, Chen Fan guessed in his heart.

To break into the Demon Wood Forest, one actually only needed to hold on for a period of time in the trailing vines formed by the formation, and it would be considered a success.

Instead, the disciples of the Demon Wood Forest were allowed to actually break out.

Otherwise, wanting to break out in such endless trailing vines, Qi Refining Stage disciples, I’m afraid that not many would be able to do so.

Therefore, after feeling that it was almost time, Chen Fan put away his Green Wood Sword and slowly dropped his body.

Swish swish swish ……

A trailing vine came, and when it was about to fall on Chen Fan, it suddenly brushed all shadows away.

“Here is ……”

When the countless trailing vines disappeared, Chen Fan suddenly realized that he was actually standing in front of a huge ancient tree.

There was no one in front of the ancient wood.

There was only a monkey that was a bit shorter than him.

This monkey didn’t have a single hair on its body, and its skin looked like dried bark.

There were only a few green branches that grew out of its skin, waving a few leaves.

At this moment, it was pressing one of its monkey paws onto a formation disk suspended in midair, as if it was manipulating something.

“I just broke into the Demon Wood Formation, and it was this guy who was manipulating it?”

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan was dumbfounded.

At the same time, the monkey also looked at Chen Fan in confusion after he appeared.

Chen Fan and the monkey exchanged glances before looking to see the rest of the surroundings.

It was just that no matter how he searched, he did not find Wei Mingyuan, or any other Immortal Cultivator here.

“Uncle Wei is irresponsible.”

Chen Fan was helpless for a while.

How was he going to get out of here in this situation?

“Recover your mana first!”

Chen Fan glanced at the monkey again and saw that it was still looking at him blankly, he carefully retreated a few steps back, found a place to sit down on his knees, and revolved the Five Spirit Yuan Qi Scripture.

During this process, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the monkey didn’t interfere with him.

Although he didn’t know what level this monkey was, it certainly wasn’t simple to be able to manipulate such a formation.

It was possible that its was a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast.

Time passed.

A day later, Chen Fan’s mana had long since been restored to perfection.

And had also practiced his spells for another period of time.

But Wei Mingyuan had not returned yet.

And at that moment, that monkey had already collected the array disk in his hand, walked to the ancient tree, and leaned against it to meditate.

It looked as if it was in the midst of enlightenment.

“I make a wish that I will be able to maximize my spirit root qualification.”

Chen Fan looked at the monkey leaning against the tree, and with a movement in his heart, he made his little wish for the day.

“Buzz!”

It was only in the next instant that Chen Fan’s mind shook, as if he had been struck in the heart by a twilight drum.
